  1. Why was there going to be a Loyalist attack? 2. Does this mean that the Orangemen and the IRA are coming back?

The British paramilitary groups might since they survived peacetime by staying on as advisors to British pitiful parties like the DUP.

The IRA from the troubles largely splintered and went away. There are still angry old men getting teenagers to throw thier lives away but not enough to be relevant and largely accepted the Good Friday Peace treaty.

The British government signed on behalf pf the loyalists who never wanted peace or irish civil rights so who knows what will happen.

This is paywalled for me, apart from the first two paragraphs.

Does this have to do with the political deadlock in the NI Assembly/lack of an executive? Are pro-British paramilitary groups gearing back up given the sort-of-power-vacuum?

I've another link here on the same one. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40996103.html

There was a recent bomb threat against a the Irish Minister for Foreign affairs, when he went North to tey to discuss the protocol so it must be assumed.

Reality is, the protocol has massively hindered the Loyalist drug imports due to all the red tape so they have not been happy for a while.

Brexit seems to be working out great.
